Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Korsakoff's patients typically show damage to the medial thalamus, which plays a crucial role in consolidating memories. This damage can lead to global amnesia, which is a severe loss of memory for both past and current events. The other brain regions listed (frontal lobes, basal cholinergic system, and perirhinal cortex) may also be involved in memory function but are not specifically implicated in Korsakoff's syndrome.
